The Other Side of Things

by John Prescott

David Rayne never thought he needed anyone's help. A bold and independent child, he deals with problems on his own. That's how he ended up alone in the middle of nowhere, on the other side of things. Pulled into another world, he has no choice now but to seek assistance. Luck hands him an unusual new friend in Vosh, whom vows to aid him in his journeys. They set out to discover how David ended up in the strange world of Terra, and how he may return home again. It quickly becomes obvious that this fairyland is not like the ones he read about in grade school. Real dangers abound, and death hides in the brightest corners. The tendrils of the Dark Queen Tesora reach out from every shadow, eager and ready to bring a swift end to David's quest for answers.

Reviews

[Haley Lancaster · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderful dystopian fantasy that reminds me of my favorite childhood fantasy movies with a nice flow reminiscent of an anime's pace. There is now a sequel of which I will definitely be reading. While the sequel isn't totally necessary since the first ended so well with the characters sort of living on and having a grand time, there is still a loose end that I hope for the main character would be concluded. No spoilers since I want others to read this book as well!
